Further, the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes: a reading control section 32 that controls an optical image reading operation by the document optical reading section 46 and a document transporting operation by the document transporting section; and an image formation control section 34 that controls the image formation process by the image forming section 24 and the transport of the sheet to the image forming section 24 by the transport section 25. The image forming apparatus 10 includes a communication line interface (communication line I/F) unit 36 connected to a communication line and configured to transmit and receive communication data to and from other external apparatuses such as a server connected to the communication line, and an image processing unit 44 configured to perform various kinds of image processing. The image forming apparatus 10 includes a facsimile apparatus connected to a telephone line (not shown) and connected to the telephone line, and a facsimile interface (facsimile I/F) unit 38 that transmits and receives facsimile data. The image forming apparatus 10 further includes a transmission/reception control unit 40 that controls transmission/reception of facsimile data via the facsimile interface unit 38. In the image forming apparatus 10, the transmission/reception control unit 40, the reading control unit 32, the image forming control unit 34, the communication line interface unit 36, the facsimile interface unit 38, and the image processing unit 44 are electrically connected to the system bus 42.

Further, the image forming apparatus 10 performs grasping of the operation content in the user interface 22 based on the operation information detected by the operation input detecting portion 30 by the CPU20A, and executes various controls based on the operation content.
Next, a functional configuration realized by the CPU20A of the control unit 20 in the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment by developing and executing a program stored in the ROM20B in the RAM20C will be described. Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the control unit 20 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment.
The control unit 20 has functions of an authentication information management section 60, a touch position detection section 62, a touch history management section 64, a touch area warning management section 66, and a touch area warning display section 68.
When the authenticated user logs in to image forming apparatus 10 using the authenticated user ID, authentication information management section 60 manages login information of the authenticated user. The state in which the authenticated user logs in to the image forming apparatus 10 is an example in which the processor identifies the state of the authenticated user by user authentication.
The touch position detecting unit 62 detects a touch position on the touch panel display 22A of an authenticated user (for example, a user currently logged in), and acquires a touched time.
The touch history management section 64 manages the touch history of each authenticated user by saving the touch coordinates and the time of the touch position detected by the touch position detection section 62 as a history for each authenticated user ID. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the touch coordinates and the date and time of use of each authenticated user ID are saved as a history. When the user is authenticated to perform a finger sliding motion (so-called sliding motion) while touching the display 22A, for example, a plurality of touch coordinates in the motion trajectory may be stored.
The touch area warning manager 66 counts the positions where non-authenticated users other than the authenticated user (for example, users not currently registered) make contact for a predetermined fixed time period based on the history collected by the touch history manager 64 and the authenticated user information managed by the authentication information manager 60. Then, the risk level is determined in accordance with the setting of a predetermined risk level determination table. As shown in fig. 5, the risk level determination table is divided into, for example, 3 levels, i.e., high, medium, and low, where the number of touch users in a predetermined recent period is 30, 20, and 10 are respectively set as high, medium, and low. Touch-area warning management unit 66 notifies touch-area warning display unit 68 of the determined risk level to prompt display. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the touch coordinates and the risk level are notified. In the example of fig. 6, an example is shown in which the position of the touch coordinate at the center is (x, y) = (10, 20) is high, the position of (x, y) = (10, 30) is medium, and the position of (x, y) = (10, 10) is low. In the present embodiment, the case where the risk level is determined by the number of touches within a certain period of time is described as an example, but the method of determining the risk level is not limited to this. For example, the determination may be performed by adding the time of touch, temperature, humidity, and the like to the determination conditions. Specifically, the determination condition is added to the risk that the longer the time to touch, the higher the risk that the air temperature is lower while the air is dry, and the like. In addition, the reset of the risk level determination table (touch coordinates and risk level) may be performed at predetermined time intervals. Alternatively, the display 22A may be reset by an operation of a reset button or the like after cleaning. Alternatively, the cleaning of the display 22A may be detected and reset by detecting a trajectory or the like corresponding to the cleaning operation of the display 22A.
The touch-area warning display unit 68 performs processing for displaying on the display 22A an image or the like which draws attention to a place where the risk is high in accordance with a predetermined risk level in terms of hygiene. For example, the position at or above the predetermined level may be displayed on the display 22A, or may be displayed on the display 22A in a display mode in which the risk level can be recognized. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the image is displayed at a position where the risk level is a predetermined level or more. As an example, images indicating the positions of the high and medium levels are displayed. As the image to be displayed, an area image of a predetermined range including the center coordinates of the position having a hygiene risk may also be displayed. In the example of fig. 7, an example is shown in which a region of a predetermined level or more is displayed by a shadow image, wherein an image having a high-level cross-hatched region is displayed in a region overlapping with a print button, and two images having a medium-level shadow region are displayed on two selection items so as to overlap with each other. Further, the risk level may be visually notified by changing the display form of the image such as the display color according to the risk level and displaying the image in a predetermined display form corresponding to the risk level.
Therefore, in the case where the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment configured as described above is provided with the touch panel display 22A, many people touch the same position for frequently used print functions, a button for instructing the start of printing after selecting a print button, and the like. The greater the number of people who touch the same location, the higher the hygiene risk.
Therefore, in the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the authentication state of the authenticated user is confirmed, and when the authenticated user touches the display 22A, where the authenticated user touches is internally recorded. That is, the touch history management unit 64 records the authenticated user, the touched position, and the time at which the authenticated user touched the touched position in the history, and stores only the history of the touched position without counting the number of touches when the same authenticated user touches the same position. On the contrary, when the unauthorized user touches the touch panel for a certain period of time, it is determined that there is a health risk, and the position touched by the unauthorized user is guided so that the authenticated user does not easily touch the touch panel by displaying the area as an image on the screen.
Next, a specific process performed by the control unit 20 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of processing performed by the control unit 20 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. In addition, the process of fig. 8 is started in a case where, for example, the user is authenticated by a predetermined method, for example, when the authenticated user logs in to the image forming apparatus 10 using an authenticated user ID.
In step 100, the CPU20A reads out the touch history of the non-authenticated user other than the authenticated user and proceeds to step 102. That is, the touch area warning management unit 66 counts the positions where non-authenticated users other than the authenticated user touch for a predetermined fixed time period, based on the history collected by the touch history management unit 64 and the authenticated user information managed by the authentication information management unit 60. Then, the risk level is determined in accordance with the setting of a predetermined risk level determination table.
In step 102, the CPU20A determines whether or not there is a hygiene risk position. In this determination, the touch area warning management unit 66 determines whether or not there is a position that meets a level equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, for example. If the determination is positive, the routine proceeds to step 104, and if not, the routine proceeds to step 106.
In step 104, the CPU20A performs display corresponding to the risk level on the display 22A, and proceeds to step 106. That is, the touch area warning display unit 68 displays an image or the like on the display 22A, which draws attention to a place with an increased risk in accordance with a predetermined risk level in terms of hygiene. Thereby, a sanitary risk place that a non-authenticated user other than the authenticated user touches is displayed on the display 22A.
In step 106, the CPU20A determines whether or not contact is made with the touch panel. In this determination, the touch position detection unit 62 determines whether or not the touch of the authenticated user on the touch panel display 22A is detected. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 108, and if not, the process proceeds to step 110.
In step 108, the CPU20A detects the touch coordinates, updates the touch history of each authenticated user, and proceeds to step 110. That is, the touch history management unit 64 stores the touch coordinates and the time of the touch position detected by the touch position detection unit 62 together with the authenticated user ID as a history.
In step 110, the CPU20A determines whether the operation is ended. In this determination, it is determined whether or not an operation for instructing termination, a logout operation, or the like has been performed, for example. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 106 to repeat the above-described process, and if the determination is positive, the series of processes ends.
In the processing of fig. 8, an example in which a position at which there is a health risk is displayed when the authenticated user is authenticated has been described, but the timing of displaying a position at which there is a health risk is not limited to this. For example, the display may be performed after the operation is completed, so that the authentication user is notified of the contact with the risky location when the contact with the risky location is made. Alternatively, the display may be performed by an operation of a display button or the like.
In the processing of fig. 8, display is performed only according to the hygiene risk level, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the display buttons of the functions used may be displayed with a history stored in advance when touched, and the display buttons frequently used may be displayed while being moved to an area that is not touched by the unauthorized user at all, thereby performing a process of reducing the risk of hygiene.
Alternatively, the arrangement of the display buttons may be changed when a part or the whole of the display buttons overlaps with the area having a risk of hygiene, or the arrangement of the display buttons may be changed after the proportion of the area having a high risk overlapping with the area of the display buttons is determined to be equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, or the display buttons may be rearranged under such a condition. In addition, the conditions may be changed by setting.
For example, a process of moving a display button corresponding to an area with a high risk level, a process of displaying a message urging cleaning on the display 22A, or the like may be added to the process of fig. 8. Specifically, the process of fig. 9 may be added between step 102 and step 104 in the process of fig. 8. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of processing in a case where processing for moving a display button corresponding to an area with a high risk level is added and processing for displaying a message for urging cleaning on the display 22A are added.
In step 200, the CPU20A determines whether there is an area having a risk level above a predetermined threshold. For example, it is determined whether there are positions corresponding to at least 1 level of the high level, the middle level, and the low level. If the determination is negative, the process of fig. 9 is ended, and the routine proceeds to step 104 described above, and if yes, the routine proceeds to step 202.
In step 202, it is determined whether the risk area overlaps with the display area of the display button. In this determination, for example, it is determined whether or not the risk region overlaps with a part or all of the display region of the display button. If the determination is positive, the routine proceeds to step 204, whereas if the determination is negative, the routine ends the series of processing shown in fig. 9 and proceeds to step 104 described above.
In step 204, the CPU20A determines whether the display area of the display button overlapping with the risk area can be changed (whether the display button can be moved). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the display area of the display button can be changed to an area that does not overlap with the risk area or an area that overlaps less than the current area, for example. For example, when the range of the area where the non-authenticated user contacts the operation portion reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold, the CPU20A determines that the display area of the display button cannot be changed. If the determination is negative, the routine proceeds to step 206, and if yes, the routine proceeds to step 208.
At step 206, the CPU20A displays a message prompting cleaning on the display 22A, ends the processing of fig. 9, and proceeds to step 104 described above. For example, "please wipe the touch panel" is displayed on the display 22A. "etc. to prompt cleaning.
On the other hand, at step 208, the CPU20A moves the display button of the risk area to display the risk area, ends the processing of fig. 9, and proceeds to step 104 described above. For example, as shown in fig. 10, "print" of the display button is displayed by being moved from the position of the broken line of the risk area to the position of the solid line not overlapping with the risk area.
As shown in fig. 11, the processing of fig. 8 may be performed by adding the processing of steps 109A and 109B between step 108 and step 110. Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the processing of the modification performed by the control unit 20 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The same processing as in fig. 8 will be described with the same reference numerals.
In step 100, the CPU20A reads out the touch history of the non-authenticated user other than the authenticated user and proceeds to step 102. That is, the touch area warning managing unit 66 counts the positions where the non-authenticated user other than the authenticated user touches for a predetermined fixed time period based on the history collected by the touch history managing unit 64 and the authenticated user information managed by the authentication information managing unit 60. Then, the risk level is determined in accordance with the setting of a predetermined risk level determination table.
In step 102, the CPU20A determines whether or not there is a hygiene risk position. In this determination, the touch area warning management unit 66 determines whether or not there is a position that meets a level equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, for example. If the determination is positive, the routine proceeds to step 104, and if not, the routine proceeds to step 106.
In step 104, the CPU20A displays the display 22A corresponding to the risk level, and proceeds to step 106. That is, the touch-area warning display unit 68 displays an image or the like on the display 22A, which draws attention to a place where the risk is high in accordance with a predetermined risk level in terms of hygiene.
In step 106, the CPU20A determines whether or not contact with the touch panel is made. In this determination, the touch position detecting unit 62 determines whether or not the touch of the authenticated user on the touch panel display 22A is detected. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 108, and if not, the process proceeds to step 110.
In step 108, the CPU20A detects the touch coordinates, updates the touch history of each authenticated user, and proceeds to step 109A. That is, the touch history management unit 64 stores the touch coordinates and the time of the touch position detected by the touch position detection unit 62 together with the authenticated user ID as a history.
In step 109A, the CPU20A determines whether or not contact is made with the risk area. In this determination, it is determined whether or not the area having a hygiene risk, that is, the area displayed according to the risk level in step 104, is in contact with. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 109B, and if not, the process proceeds to step 110.
In step 109B, the CPU20A notifies the authenticated user of the touch-to-risk area, and proceeds to step 110. For example, a message may also be displayed or sounded on display 22A to notify that the authenticated user touched the hygiene risk area. Alternatively, the notification may be performed by displaying or sounding a message urging to wash hands, such as "wash hands due to touching an area touched by a plurality of people" on the display 22A.
In step 110, the CPU20A determines whether the operation is ended. In this determination, it is determined whether or not an operation for instructing termination, a logout operation, or the like has been performed, for example. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 106 to repeat the above-described processes, and if the determination is positive, the series of processes ends.
In the above-described embodiment, when there is no memory or storage device sufficient for storing the history in the image forming apparatus 10, a management server may be prepared and the history may be transmitted to the management server.
